Doctor reminds
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a bacteria, and infection with tuberculosis does not mean the disease. Among the infected people, the vast majority are normal, and only 10% to 15% of people will suffer from tuberculosis. Once the human immunity decreases, tuberculosis bacteria may reproduce in large quantities, which leads to tuberculosis, so the incidence of tuberculosis in the elderly is relatively high.
prevents tuberculosis infection and it is important to cut off the transmission route. Droplets are the main transmission method of tuberculosis. Droplets can be produced by speaking, singing, coughing, and sneezing. One sneezing can produce more than 40,000 droplets, and can spread more than 2 meters away.
It should be emphasized that patients with tuberculosis must take medicine regularly to complete the entire medication process. The course of treatment for tuberculosis should be at least 6 months. Do not stop the drug without authorization during this period, otherwise it will easily lead to the emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis bacteria. Drug-resistant tuberculosis not only takes a long treatment time and costs high treatment, but also has a much lower cure rate than sensitive tuberculosis. If tuberculosis can be diagnosed early, treated early, and treated standardized, the cure rate is very high.
patients with tuberculosis

follow the doctor's advice and review it in time
